Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228 The Unfairness

Maggie couldn’t quite articulate the reason, but her heart inexplicably tightened, adding a touch of

nervousness.

“Okay.”

She accompanied Samuel to a nearby seat and extended her wrist across the table.

Samuel gently took her pulse, his concentration unwavering.

Meanwhile, Timmothy stood nearby, a slight furrow creasing his brow.

With each passing moment, Maggie’s heart grew heavier. Samuel’s demeanour lacked optimism, signalling a worrisome development.

After some time, Samuel withdrew his hand slowly, deliberating before speaking.

Maggie and Timmothy refrained from pushing for responses, and it wasn’t until later that Samuel asked, “Ms. Adam, do you have any particular tastes in food? Have you been prescribed any medication to maintain your health?”

Maggie halted to ponder. “I haven’t been on any medication lately. When you mention particular food. could you clarify what you’re referring to?”

“Like something that might have poisonous substances,” Samuel elucidated gradually.

Maggie was startled, feeling her spirits plummet.

Poisonous substances in my food? Was he insinuating that I might have been poisoned?

Maybe there weren’t any poisonous substances in her food after all. It might have been Samuel’s subtle way of cautioning her.

“Are you suggesting that I’m displaying symptoms of poisoning?” Maggie fixed her gaze on Samuel, her voice barely above a whisper.

Samuel paused briefly before replying, “Based on the analysis of your pulse, it seems that the effects of the poisoning have been building up in your body for quite some time. It’s a worrisome circumstance.”

Maggie was shocked suddenly.

I was poisoned?

But in my previous life, I never heard

Hold on, Mr. Hudson remark about the prolonged poisoning suggested it wasn’t a recent occurrence since my rebirth. So, is it conceivable that I was also poisoned in my previous life?

Maggie tried to catch elusive thoughts that slipped away from her mind like quicksilver.

“Is there any remedy?” Timmothy inquired, his brow creased with worry and voice resonant.

Samuel contemplated for a moment. “It’s a formidable predicament. I don’t hold much hope. Ms. Adam

goes, illnesses arrive swiftly like a crumbling mountain but depart slowly like pulling silk. Poisoning follows a similar course.

“If the poisoning had taken place not long ago, I’d be roughly eighty percent certain, but considering the

situation now.

His statement remained incomplete, but both Maggie and Timmothy grasped its meaning.

“How long do I have?” Maggie locked eyes with Samuel, silently pleading for confirmation of her fears.

“Considering the present circumstances, you probably has about five to six years remaining,” he relayed, his tone solemn.

Upon hearing this, Maggie’s heart sank a notch further.

So that’s the situation.

This year marked her twenty–fourth, and in another five to six years, she’d be approaching thirty. In her previous life, when Joseph had abducted her and posed a threat to Nathael, she had reached precisely thirty.

What had perplexed her previously suddenly became lucid in that instant.

Nathael had taken elaborate measures to shield her from the truth in her previous life, safeguarding Joseph and the Camerons.

As long as she remained alive, Joseph and his family stood a chance of survival. Otherwise, Nathael would have undoubtedly eradicated them.

Yet, at thirty, Joseph unexpectedly abducted her, demanding a sizable ransom.

It was an abrupt twist of fate.

After grasping the truth in retrospect, she had often pondered why Joseph had endured for such a prolonged period, only to reach a breaking point precisely when Nathael’s patience appeared to be growing.

Why had he opted for such a drastic step, jeopardizing everything by kidnapping met

Now, if Mr. Hudson’s words proved accurate, everything fell into alignment.

Her imminent demise before reaching thirty signified that once she was gone, Nathael would show no mercy towards them.
